Nominate now to help us thank our community legends on Australia Day

Mayor of Hume City, Cr Carly Moore said we are very fortunate to have many dedicated community members and quiet achievers volunteering their time to make our community a great place to live.

“Every single local school, sporting club, seniors club, special interest group, fundraiser or community event simply would not be possible without these amazing individuals,” Cr Moore said.

“Often the worthiest recipients are the people who buckle down behind the scenes; are always there lending a helping hand; or are the first to volunteer when there is a job to be done.

“These people make time in their busy day-to-day lives to help others and often achieve incredible things without very much recognition – that is why we are asking you to share their stories with us.

“It is important we say thank you and make sure our community heroes know how much we value and appreciate the things they do to help.”
